We woke up at 6:30 and headed out to Shanto. My body is taking a beating physically and very tired. The boys at FOVC played in a soccer tournament which was fun to watch. They are very good! We provided the soccer jersey's for them to wear and they were very excited. 
Here is one of the goalies and the goal made out of cypress trees.

They were very excited to get a new dress and they looked beautiful!
We had so many dresses left over that we wanted to share them with other girls outside of FOVC in Shanto. We had the guards let in 5-10 girls at a time to give them dresses and hair bows. Everyday the kids in Shanto would gather to see what was going on inside FOVC.
Desalegn took a few of out for a walk in Shanto. We walked through the country side and ended up at a party for a new homeowner. They were celebrating and having an auction to raise money for the man's new house. A few of our members got in the mood and danced with the locals.
The kids who danced were very good and loved to put on a show for us...
At dusk, they built a bon fire and celebrated some more with dancing and singing. We left late and skipped dinner which was ok with me:) I wish I could communicate with Betsy and the kids. I miss them so much! I pray for them every night.
